Welcome to ISOM Online

What brought you here? Maybe you want to understand your faith more fully, be better prepared to serve, or simply keep learning.

ISOM is a Bible college here to prepare you for Christian ministry through theological education, biblical studies, and practical ministry training. Study when it fits your schedule and wherever you are, so your studies can fit around family, work, and church.

Jesus commanded His disciples to teach others to observe what He commanded. ISOM is here to help with that teaching—helping you know what Jesus said, understand what it means, and put it into practice.

Course Description

Learn to lead a children’s ministry designed specifically for Pentecostal and Charismatic churches because of the emphasis on the Holy Spirit. They are started and led by individuals who desire to see children evangelized, filled with the Holy Spirit, grounded in the word of God, operating in the gifts of the Spirit, learning to hear God’s voice and be led by His Spirit, and becoming active, functioning members in the body of Christ while they are still children.

This course has sixteen sessions, all designed to impart vision along with everything you need to know to lead a dynamic, spirit-led children’s service.
